Data Sources:
The following databases were searched for publications up to May 2020: Web of Science, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Medline and CINAHL. Additionally, previously published reviews were hand searched.
Study Selection:
Clinical studies conducted in English language were considered, encompassing cohorts of more than four vaping individuals who have encountered inadvertent side effects. Both adult and paediatric populations were included. In vitro, animal studies and systematic or literature reviews were excluded from the analysis.
Data Extraction And Synthesis:
Two independent reviewers screened 1125 studies following deduplication. Two-hundred and eight full-text studies were assessed for eligibility.
Results:
Thirty-two studies met the inclusion criteria. Diverse study designs were included, comprising of cross-sectional, randomised controlled trials, case-control studies, cohort studies, case series investigations and non-randomised trials. Of note, four studies focused on paediatric patients. Most reported side effects were cough, throat and mouth irritation and intra-oral lesions.
Conclusions:
While the direct side effects of e-cigarettes are well-documented, the long-term effects remain uncertain.

Cocaine can be administered via snorting, injection, or smoking. It primarily functions by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, resulting in a euphoric high characterized by an intense sensation of happiness and...
01:23Drugs Acting on Autonomic Ganglia: Stimulants
Ganglionic stimulants activate NM nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia, falling into two categories: nicotine mimetics [e.g., lobeline, dimethylpiperazine, tetramethylammonium] and muscarinic receptor agonists [e.g., muscarine, methacholine]. The first category's action is rapid and blocked by nicotinic receptor antagonists, while the second category's action is delayed and blocked by atropine-like agents. Nicotine, an alkaloid, affects the heart rate by stimulating...

Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...
